Diagnostic value of non-invasive indices for assessing liver fibrosis in Chinese children with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease
The non-invasive fibrosis indices that have been validated demonstrated poor diagnostic accuracy and unreliable performance in Chinese children with MASLD. This diagnostic gap emphasizes the urgent need for the development of pediatric-specific diagnostic algorithms tailored for MASLD-related liver fibrosis.
